Abstract
Techniques process and manage a storage unit access. In accordance with such a technique, a data access request which is from a host system and for a first storage unit in the first storage system is received, wherein the first storage unit is a secondary storage unit; and the data access request is forwarded to a second storage unit in a second storage system associated with the first storage unit via a redirection link from the first storage system to the second storage system, wherein the second storage unit is a primary storage unit. Through such techniques, the host system can be allowed to send a data access request for the secondary storage unit, so that the host system does not need to resend the data access request, thereby reducing delay and interruption caused by such requests.
